Writing Routines and Processes

[aeriedraconia.livejournal.com]

Because every writer is different and has a different process I thought it would be interesting to see how everyone else works. Please note that there is no right or wrong way it is about whatever works best for you at the moment.

Do you have a writing routine?

How do you get yourself started?
Do you have a favorite time of day to write? Does this help keep your writing sessions more regular?
Do you write everyday?
How long are your typical writing sessions?
Do you have a specific goal like a time limit, a page or word count when you sit down to write?
Do you write in order or can you bounce around in the story?
Do you stick with one project or do you have several projects going at once?
Does your writing routine or process change from project to project?

Not TV per se, just a movie. I put the movie on my desktop, and write on the laptop. Normally, it's a fluffy fantasy movie (Like, A Knight's Tale, Eragon, Princess Bride) anything that can just be settled into background noise. I used to write to music, and still do, occasionally, but I find myself always wanting to get up and dance/sing along if I do. So, the movies work a little better.

Plus, they get my fannish brain going which kicks over to the original fiction part of my brain and I get new ideas/new lease on brain power.
